speeder75, hi,

Congrats to your purchase. At present (no, it's not really true..........since for a good while.......), I am on the same decision-track as you but however still waiting for a C5 LT-Header solution without any welding, without any cutting, but also without any V-Clamps joints (e.g. FLPs / LGMs.....).

As to covering your question, please check-out the following Link:

=> http://www.tpis.com/

From TPIS's Main Menue, just select "Installation Instructions", followed by "C5 Header Instructions". This represents certainly a very helpful step-by-step information which might guide you through the process.

As said already, I do not like so much e.g. the FLP-solution with their V-Clamps (due to a certain risk of air-leaks), but despite such facts (??), it appears clear to me that a set of FLPs, or even LGMs would be awesome though.

But then d**n.......... again those V-Clamps............

I wish you all possible success for your installation and want to ask you to come back after the work, of course with the working-experience report and some pics as well. Thanks in advance for your efforts.

Joe. :seeya GOOD LUCK, Brother !!
